Hooking Older Systems Up To An LCD TV

[CYRiX]

Would buying a Scart cable, then hooking it to a Scart to RGB adapter (like this http://www.svideo.com/scartrgb.html) then plugging component into your TV not work?

If I understand correctly, it would work but not upscale. Which is probably the best solution cost-wise. Or I am just completely off.

I'd guess you'd need to get audio as well. Could you get audio from the RF output at the same time? An RF modulator would get you simulated stereo.

but there are some that try to make the image 720p, 1080i or is that just with the HDMI one's?

Yea those are the HDMI that upscale them to 720p or 1080 and it looks like crap. And correction I made, I believe its 480i not 480p.

That adapter wouldn't work because RGB and Component are 2 different things. That adapter is just a pass thru from SCART to RCA RGB. The converter box converts the raw RGB signal to Component 480i. Ask for audio, sure you could get the audio from RF, but it would be in mono only. Also a RF modulator only converts signals like S-Video and Composite to RF. If you were to plug the RF cable into say a HiFi VCR that would work,but it would only be dual mono and you would have to have your VCR on all the time for audio.
